The legend of the Chupacabra "Goat Sucker" drums up mystery and fear in many.   This unknown beast that is said to suck the blood of it's prey.  What an unsettling thought!  Shakes my arm hairs.  But is it just a legend or can it be a possible new animal, yet to be discovered?  It has been sighted in North and South America in places such as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Chile and even the United States.   

Let's think about it for a moment.  We are making our own cloned animals now.  That thought to me is not a very comforting one.  We know that governments around the world do many strange experiments.  Perhaps, this Chupacabra is a beast that has come from government sponsored research that has gone as cue?  There's a thought.  Would they want to let us all in on that?  My guess is probably not.  How stuff works.

These creatures are reported to look differently by viewers.  One characteristic that seems to stand out is the large, red eyes.  Is this due to the creature being primarily a nocturnal one?  Eyes can appear red by camera or by flashlight in the dark.  It is also been told to have a hairless body.   CBS News.    

The real mystery is the fact that animals and livestock in the reported areas have been drained of blood.  Could this be an attack from humans?  Some other unknown animal?  What would be able to suck the blood out of an animal and for what purpose.  My best guess would be a human till further DNA can be found of a blood sucking animal are found to exist.  But I can't rule out an animal that can be different than animals known to us today.  Skepdic

There was a reported find in Texas in the town of Fort Hood, two suspicious animals that appeared to be hairless and odd.  An animal control officer shot one and said it was the ugliest thing he has seen.   It was sent for DNA testing to see if it could be the legendary Chupacabra on July, 2010. 

The beast that was found in Texas was reportedly taken to, Texas State University where Mike Forstner, ran DNA tests which revealed that the animal was that of a canine, coyote hybrid with internal parasites and skin mites.  DNA test results. 

So the search for valid DNA for the mysterious Chupacabra continues.  There is always a realm of possibility when cellular mutations are possible.
